Betting currency is a terrible solution, especially at the junior level when people are trying to start their careers. On the other hand, forcing candidates to invest time and in exchange guaranteeing their application will be reviewed could work well.

Where I'm from, this is normal. There are even theological cases to be made against dress codes in church, beyond "don't show up naked" and similar basics.

If your "host" has unreasonable expectations, then it is on some level unreasonable to follow them.
Those are all claims about the accent (my understanding of said claims is basically "sounds reasonable but also I have no idea what I'm talking about").

I was more thinking about the words/grammar/idiom etc.

Have you tried just saying you're a product manager instead of technical product manager? In my experience small changes in storytelling and self-marketing can create giant shifts in how you are perceived.

Not true at all. I've seen Hikaru talk about how he doesn't usually read the rules of tournaments and has been surprised by them.
What you've said is why a lot of people voiced concerns to that suggested changes, leading to it getting safely cancelled, while the same cohort of people were and are fine with existing anti-tamper requirements.

I guess it's another anecdotal datapoint that shows disastrous state of the field called software engineering, especially relative to other professional fields of engineering(cf. https://xkcd.com/2030/).
I have an engineer on my team that loves RubyMine. I can't even argue with her choice... JetBrains does indeed make very solid products. I'm just not a fan though. Even still, I never want the code I write, or the tools I choose to be IDE/editor specific. Right now we're trying to figure out how to get Biome (JavaScript linter/formatter) to play nicely with RubyMine... it's not as simple as NeoVim/VSCode.
Perfect in combination with FreeBSD :)

Joking aside, this is a nice font. Wouldn't pay $75 for it though.

Ten years ago I used to be really into all the mech keyboard stuff. Then I bought a topre realforce and have been using it ever since. The hobby part of the keyboards is neat but as far as "good" keyboard I haven't seen anything that would cause me to switch.
I have to second the general notion that this is a numbers game. My own statistics right now show that for every 100 applications, I get 12 applications with at least one interview, and 3.5 applications with an offer. Those numbers are not great but statistically, if you apply to enough jobs, you can see that you have a good shot of getting at least one offer. Of course, that may require hundreds of hours of work. But if you calculate the odds yourself, you can see there is an end in sight, even if it is quite far away.
I would find that a bit surprising. Do you happen to remember where you heard him say this?
The full statement is "You don't need a full-blown IDE, just use (vim or whatever), unless you are writing in Java". Among mainstream languages, Java is uniquely hostile to being written by humans.

The statement is usually shortened under the assumption that nobody is writing Java by choice, and if you're writing it for work you're forced to use (Employer-provided development tool).

There are other languages that are hard to use without an IDE, but they always are relatively obscure ones and/or blatantly integrate the language itself tightly into the IDE, like Smalltalk or Scratch.

Most languages, it's feasible to write with nothing more than a regex-based keyword detector and symbol tagger. LSPs are overrated, other than the fact that they're a narrow waist for supporting multiple languages in multiple editors.

Shrug. I’ve done a lot of intensely creative work in my pajamas. I’ve burned a lot of unproductive hours on commuting and pointless in-person meetings.

Wondering if the Lem project is “accepted” (or worth a test drive) by the Emacs community. I’m a long time Emacs user, occasionally leaving but always returning. Lately, Lem has my attention. https://github.com/lem-project/lem

For those not familiar, Lem is very approximately an Emacs, natively written and extendable in Common Lisp, multiplatform, NCurses & SDL2, etc. LSP. And fast.
So the sources are OpenAI training data and a far-right social media platform. It seems prudent to disregard this conspiracy theory as misinformation.
Totally. A conflict engagement rather than conflict avoidance culture is definitely helpful, so that resentment doesn't build up, and information can flow more easily.

I was just pushing against the sentiment that because something is computerized it works perfectly every time. Which for anyone who has exited their home and looked at this world, would also conclude is a false sentiment.
I don't know how old you are, or whether you ever really knew the web in the prior era that we're talking about. Forgive me if I'm making flawed guesses about where you're coming from.

Back in the day, if I wanted the answer to some specific question about, say, restaurants in Chicago, I'd search for it on Google. Even if I didn't know enough about the topic to recognize the highest quality sites, it was okay, because the sorts of people who spent time writing websites about the Chicago restaurant scene did know enough, and they mostly linked to the high-quality sites, and that was the basis of how Google formed its rankings. Word of mouth only had to spread among deeply-invested experts (which happens quite naturally), and that was enough to allow search engines to send the broader public to the best resources. So yeah, once upon a time, search engines were pretty darn good at pointing people to high quality sites, and a lot of those quality sites became well-known in exactly that way.
I very much agree this is effectivity a 'honeymoon' period.

Expect the SEO collective to shift focus on AI if the search approach becomes profitable in a few years.

That said, given an "AI search" is estimated to be at least ten times [0] as expensive per query than traditional search, I hope you like ads.

For those hoping to see that cost to go down, training costs for improved models have instead been going up. [1]

Voice2Anki: FOSS tool to turn many audio into flashcards
Hi hn,

I am nearly at the end of medical school so it is time I publish and "advertise" my open source scripts/apps for anki!

I’m excited to share [Voice2Anki](https://github.com/thiswillbeyourgithub/Voice2Anki), a tool I’ve been developing that combines the power of LLMs (like ChatGPT) and TTS models (like OpenAI’s Whisper) to create high-quality Anki flashcards from voice recordings. It’s designed to be fast, flexible, and language-agnostic, making it a powerful tool for anyone who uses Anki for learning or memorization.

This project is part of a larger suite of tools I’ve been building to enhance Anki workflows. You can explore more in [AnkiAIUtils](https://github.com/thiswillbeyourgithub/AnkiAIUtils).

### Why I Built This

As a medical student, I needed a way to create large volumes of high-quality flashcards quickly. Traditional methods were time-consuming, so I built Voice2Anki to automate the process. It’s been a game-changer for me, and I believe it has significant potential for anyone who relies on spaced repetition systems like Anki.

### Key Features

- Universal Language Support: Works seamlessly in any language.

- Adaptive Learning (Few-Shot Learning): Learns from your corrections to improve future cards.

- Customization: Supports multiple LLMs (ChatGPT, GPT-4, Replicate, OpenRouter) and TTS models.

- Anki Integration: Automatically imports cards with tags, marks, and deck organization.

- Smart OCR: Processes images while preserving formatting.

### How It Works

1. Record your voice (e.g., speaking out flashcards).

2. Voice2Anki transcribes and corrects the text using LLMs.

3. It creates and imports the flashcards directly into Anki.

### Getting Started

Check out the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/thiswillbeyourgithub/Voice2Anki) for installation instructions and detailed documentation.

### Looking for Contributors

This is a free and open-source project, and I’d love to see it grow. If you’re a developer interested in helping improve the CLI version, integrate it as an Anki addon, or contribute in any other way, your expertise would be hugely appreciated.

### Explore My Other Projects

I’ve built several other tools to enhance Anki workflows:

- [Whisper Audio Splitter](https://github.com/thiswillbeyourgithub/whisper_audio_splitt...): Automatically splits long audio recordings into smaller segments.

- [OCR_with_format](https://github.com/thiswillbeyourgithub/OCR_with_format): OCR for Anki that preserves formatting.

- And more! Check out my [GitHub profile](https://github.com/thiswillbeyourgithub) for the full list.

I’d love to hear your feedback, suggestions, or questions. Let me know what you think!

I wasn't in the scene directly but was only watching it from great distance. It was literally a decade ago, too. Maybe someone can ask Espressif for their side of battle story, but I don't have any more to offer, sorry.
Thanks. Having a "bitter taste" in this metaphorical sense does not necessarily mean that a person is inherently bitter. I am not a "bitter" human. Nor would I say any of my posts are "dripping" in bitterness, as Schnitzer claimed.

But again - if someone wants to pass on a hire because of that post, be my guest. I wouldn't want to work for such a petty individual.
Well, nowhere wouldn't be that bad actually. At least, you wouldn't be that far from home. In practice, you go somewhere. But you usually end up in some place in the middle of nowhere in between your departure point and your destination. Also, it's freezing and the next train (which of course doesn't arrive on time) will be overloaded - that is, if you're lucky. Most of the time, there won't even be a train but a "replacement bus service" which commonly is a single small bus that about 200 people try to board simultaneously after they waited for about an hour and a half.

The whole torture is accompanied by awkward excuses like "unexpected staff shortage", "technical disruption", "signal repairs", or "delay due to earlier journey" which you can look at in an app that tends to not work while you wait and freeze.

I'm under the impression that, at least theoretically, Von Neumann's principles of self-replication, game theory, or optimization in the context of designing neural network structures.

You could think about organizing a neural network with layers or nodes that are indexed by Von Neumann ordinals, where the structure of the network follows the natural progression of ordinals. For example:

Each layer or node in the neural network could correspond to a finite ordinal (such as 0, 1, 2, etc.) or transfinite ordinal (like ωω, ω+1ω+1, etc.). The way the network expands and evolves could follow the ordering and progression inherent in the Von Neumann ordinal system.

This could lead to an architecture where early layers (low ordinals) represent simpler, more basic computations (e.g., feature extraction or basic transformations). Later layers (higher ordinals) could correspond to more complex, abstract processing or deeper, more abstract representations.

But I'm afraid there is no hardware substrate upon which to build such a thing.

you might be slightly more receptive to this idea if you have, the company administering the exam needs to ensure no cheating is happening so app starts, all your other apps are shutdown, you get a call through the app to show your surroundings with the camera on your laptop etc before exam begins. at no point in time did I find any of it intrusive or strange, I wanted to get the exam done remotely, they need to ensure that I wasn’t cheating
I do know that ML and AI are at least changing hiring in my own field (scientific research). Where I work, there is little hiring of subject-matter experts and a lot of hiring of data scientists and ML experts. I have talked to many managers over the last few years, and in many of these conversations, the managers imply that there is a lot less of a need for subject-matter expertise because the AI can fill in the blanks for us --- no need to hire expensive subject-matter experts anymore. In their minds, AI can do it cheaper and better. That's my own summary of these conversations, but it does show a shift in hiring patterns in scientific research at least.

Google seriously needs to scale up their generative models to all of crawling/indexing/ranking infrastructure. Their current ranking models are not capable of dealing with the next-gen web filled with 99% gen AI craps. I think they also know this. The problem is the cost and they're hyper-focused on bringing it down, but it is not fast enough.
I've been using it for a while now. It is marginally better, but not exactly night and day. It seems to struggle with intent at times, and others I just get the same bland results as the free engines. The privacy is a big plus however.
Interestingly, the PCIe 8-pin power cable into a GPU doesn't carry all of the return current. If you put a current clamp meter around the +12V wires and then the ground wires, you'll measure more amps on the +12V wires than the ground wires. This means some of the return current goes through the PCIe slot into motherboard and makes its way back to the PSU. This lets the GPU create audio noise because GPUs draw high current pulses at the frame rate of your monitor, which means the return current through the motherboard has high current pulses, which can create ground bounce on the motherboard where the ground voltage level moves up and down and that can affect other devices in the system.

I don't totally know how that noise would traveling over the ground shield of the HDMI cable into the analog section of the Denon receiver though. Maybe some of that GPU return current is going through the HDMI cable, through the Denon receiver to mains earth, and then through your building wiring back to the ATX PSU? Grounding is freaking weird.
It is not exactly the same, and it is a shameless plug, but I work on a code/config generation tool.

I'd be interested in hearing about your use-case and whether something like https://jwdevantier.github.io/htt/quick-start/ ( https://github.com/jwdevantier/htt ) would let you solve your issue?
Because they tell you to do this like this. Food container? green waste. Dogpoop bag? green waste. Its less about giving you good compost and more about getting the local landfill to emit a little bit less methane by not having as much organic matter rotting in there.

According to liberal economics, aren't green cards more productive than H1-Bs?
It's a tenet that economies with labor mobility do better than economies without labor mobility.

So, it feels distressingly incompetent of leaders like Elon Musk to push the idea that reduced labor mobility is better for our economy than free labor mobility.

Advice to favor H1-B visas over expedited green cards to the real best and brightest seems uneducated, untrustworthy and myopic at best.
